They have booths, counter seating and I saw some out door seating once. The service is spectacular. Whether you are getting take away or eating there you will be happy. The servers are so kind and they are fast. They know the menu. The food is just great. All of it. They have a Camarones al mojo all crammed into a burrito. That is one of our favorite things. Their guacamole is great and always fresh. We love their rice and beans and their chips are always fresh. You will be happy with any shrimp dish you get. They also have wonderful salads and their steak is just perfect. You will love it. Parking is easy.

When you first walk in you're welcomed by a lot of friendly faces. The staff is very nice and attentive. The restaurant is clean and they have a nice variety on their menu. There has never been a wait time here, so if you're in a rush they don't take long. This is a nice place for a small or large group because they have a lot of tables, the only thing is they don't have alot of parking during busy hours.

My wife and I have been regular customers here in Bakersfield and used to enjoy coming almost every…read moreday. Recently the staff told us we're only allowed to take three salsas per order, even when we ordered eight tacos. What's confusing is that they're known for having a self-serve salsa bar. If customers aren't supposed to take more than three, why have a self-serve salsa bar in the first place? We've also started to feel like our presence isn't very welcomed lately based on how we've been treated. Because of this experience, my family and I will no longer be coming here, which is disappointing since we used to support this place often.

One of my all time favs for quick and delicious Mexican food. The chips and salsa is everything!read more

I stopped by here for lunch recently, at Los Tacos (Bakersfield, California), because this place…read moreseemed nice from the reviews on Yelp. When I arrived, I glanced through their menu and decided to get the "2 Hardshell Tacos" meal, with a side of rice and beans. I wanted to get one taco with chicken and one taco with beef, but I could not do that. The cashier told me that this was not allowed, and the two tacos had to have the same type of meat. Strange, I thought...I don't see why it makes any difference. Slightly disappointed, I decided on getting both tacos with beef. As I prepared to pay, I then realized that they charge a small fee for their customers who use a credit card. I was a little annoyed with this as well; so, I then decided to pay with cash. After getting a Dr. Pepper as my drink with my meal, I sat in one of their booths inside and waited for my order. The cleanliness inside was just ok. As I waited, I realized that this location does not have an internal restroom for their customers after one of their customers asked to use it. The cashier said that their restroom was outside, around the side of the building. After getting my meal, it appeared appetizing. The tacos were quite delicious, but the rice and beans were just ok. I also got some extra sauces to spice it up a bit. After departing, I noticed the restroom doors on the side of the building; They looked pretty ghetto. The outside landscaping was nicely maintained, but I was annoyed by the group of homeless people that were just camping on the grass outside this location under the trees. If I owned this business, I would ask the city to remove these individuals because they are not only an eyesore, their loitering presents a safety concern and an annoyance for their customers. It may even turn some customers away from this location as a result. Overall, the food here is pretty good, but in my opinion, this location needs to make a few improvements to deserve a higher than average rating.

I had one Burrito and tortilla chips. There is a salsa bar that is excellent. I highly recommend the salsa to the far right and the onions with habanero peppers. Both are superb. The Burrito was well cooked and it had multiple layers of food and flavors. I recommend Sebastian's Taqueria. It is open from 6 am to 2 pm.

First time and quite surprised. Only ordered a sausage breakfast burrito. Charged extra for beans,…read morebut I did get a small bag of chips. Selected my own salsas from their salsa bar. The burrito was great! Enough for 2 people. The green salsa was very hot and the chunky red was flavorful, a perfect combo to add to my food. The dining area was very quaint and somewhere I would go with my family. The menu, however, has hand drawn prices, missing prices and just poorly put together. I have added pics. Finally, they charge $1 for any credit purchases and $1 on refills. Overall, great food, clean and cute interior, just need to get their menu cleaned up to be more clear.

Good burritos and street tacos. Also tortas and a few other things we didn't try. The portions are…read moregenerous, and the mild green salsa we opted for had just a good amount of kick. If you don't like spicy, definitely ask for salsa on the side so you can control the heat factor. This location is right off the 99, and we particularly appreciated the outdoor eating areas since we were traveling with our dog. It has a patio with table umbrellas right off the building and also two tree-shaded picnic tables along a grassy area next to the parking lot that was was perfect on an 80-degree March day. It does seem a little pricey at first, but then we realized that the combos include a drink. One also has to factor in the fast-food minimum wage in California that is higher than for restaurant servers. Overall, we would stop again when traveling through.

I ordered the Chili Verde Burrito. Had the toppings I wanted. The Burrito was great…read more The guy who made it was very nice, very talkative, and very happy. No ambiance at all. The place is inside a gas station mini-market. HOWEVER, the Burrito was not worth the $12 price tag that went with it. The Chili Verde had great flavor, but cost $12. The pork in the Chili Verde was very tender, but cost $12. The ingredients added to the Burrito were fresh, but cost $12. The Burrito was half the size of other ones I have paid the same price for and they were worth the $12. This one was not. I have paid $150 for a meal, and not complained, but I want what I pay for. When my mind continues to think of the price I pay for something, it must not be worth it. I do not know whether or not to recommended this place. The food is good. The prices are not.

I have had breakfast burritos, Chile Verde burritos, Tortas and TACOS!!!! Some of the best Al Pastor tacos in the city! EVERY SINGLE TIME I've eaten here I've very much enjoyed my food! They always get it exactly right and they are SUPER fast about getting the orders out. Staff are always nice and attentive, even if it's only for 1 taco...Haha, yeah right, I didn't get 1 taco ever! These are SO good!!! Building is always clean, kitchen usually looks spotless, even during food prep hours and food bar ingredients always look fresh! If you haven't been here for the food, YOU ARE MISSION OUT!!! Please give it a try... Pro tip...Remember to ask for avocado on those tacos, it's life changing! Lol, sometimes they have to steal the avocado from the Subway person, that's next store...lol, they always get the stink eye while they're carrying that avocado away!!!

It had been a while since my last visit to this restaurant, so we decided to stop by again. The…read morefood was good and flavorful, but it's definitely on the pricier side. To give an idea of the cost: a two-item combo was $17.95, a kids bean and cheese burrito was $5.95 (not including the $3.95 apple juice), and the shrimp cocktail was $20.95. They also charge extra for sour cream (about $0.75). I'm guessing some of the pricing may reflect the location on this side of town. As for the food itself, it was solid and pretty standard for Mexican food. I ordered the shrimp cocktail, which came served in a huge margarita glass (super cute presentation) and it was loaded with shrimp. It was delicious, and I finished every last drop. My husband ordered the enchilada dinner special, which is his usual favorite, and my child had the bean and cheese burrito. Overall, this is a good spot for an occasional meal, but probably not somewhere I'd visit every week because of the prices. One tip: if you have those local high school football discount cards, use them here. They can save you about $5 on a $35 purchase.

I normally don't do this, but La Imperial Taco truly deserves some praise…read more I've always believed people go to restaurants for different reasons sometimes because they don't feel like cooking, sometimes because they're out of town and want a good home-cooked meal. And sometimes... life is just heavy, and you need a moment. When I looked this place up, Google said they closed at 8:00 PM. But when I got to the door, the hours posted were different. I walked in at 6:47 PM just 13 minutes before closing. A young lady greeted me with nothing but kindness. No complaints. She simply asked if I'd be dining in or taking food to go. I'll admit, I hesitated a bit... wondering, "Is this going to be fresh? Is it going to be hot?" To my surprise it was everything. I'm not from California. My job brings me here often, but I recently moved to Arizona from El Paso, Texas, and I've struggled to find a truly authentic Mexican spot with good salsa. But this place? Hands down, they delivered. When I asked for salsa, she didn't hesitate she asked, "Which ones would you like? Green, red, or guacamole?" I just smiled and said, "All three." And she gladly brought them out. I ordered the barbacoa plate three fresh tortillas, rice, and refried beans. When it came out, everything was piping hot, even the tortillas. I paired it with a piña soda, and every bite was full of flavor. The barbacoa was tender, rich in a red sauce, and came with all the sides....onions, cilantro, and lemon. Absolutely delicious. But what meant the most had nothing to do with the food. I've been having a tough day. I lost my mom in March of 2025, and today was one of those days where I just felt it heavier. I'd only had three hours of sleep. I walked in carrying that weight... and I left feeling just a little lighter. They didn't rush me, even though they were about to close. They didn't hover. They just gave me space to sit, breathe, and enjoy the moment. Before I left, I gave her a $20 tip just a small way to say thank you. Because sometimes the smallest acts of kindness mean everything. I believe in supporting local businesses, and if you're ever in Bakersfield, I highly recommend stopping by La Imperial Taco. The food is amazing hot, flavorful, and made with care but more importantly, the kindness here is real. I didn't catch her name, but I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart. You never know when someone needs that kind of warmth. I come to Bakersfield at least once a year and this will always be my go-to spot for Mexican food. Thank you.

It's a nice little restaurant. The counter server took our order. Our first choice was the wet burrito, but we were told they were out of wet burritos. That seemed a bit odd, but, oh well, we'll have the regular burrito. Our protein option was the Pastor pork. We sat down for the few minutes it took to get our food. The booths along the wall weren't that comfortable. The chairs were. The food came and, it was pretty typical Mexican food. It was tasty and plentiful. This is a good place to go if you feel like Mexican food and you're in a hurry, (or, get it as takeout)
